On Sunday 19 May 1912 several hundred people gathered at the Lark Hill Flying Grounds to watch the flying – as was the norm in those days.
Lieutenant Ashton was flying a Bristol Tractor Biplane belonging to the British and Colonial Aeroplane Company came in to land. The crowd rushed towards the Aeroplane which prevented any manoeuvre to avoid them and the propeller struck some of the crowd, the Aeroplane turned over crushing Leonard Williams, killing him instantly (http://www.gracesguide.co.uk/A._E._Burchardt_Ashton )
The resulting inquest returned accidental death with no blame on the Pilot and requested the powers being obtained to exclude Public from the Landing Area when flying was in progress.
Please respect the areas you have to visit for this cache
The final is in trees so expect the usual signal disruption and variation but the hint should make sure you are at the correct place
Note: Because of the MoD restriction that only virtual waypoint stages may be on their land the site of the accident cannot be a physical stage.
| Logging Etiquette: Geocache hiders sometimes go through a great deal of planning to place their caches. As a result, they'd like to hear your feedback on whether you liked or disliked any aspect of the hide, the journey or location, or if you feel that some cache maintenance is required. Single word, acronym, or "copy and paste" logs may be easier when you have a lot of caches to log, but it doesn't tell the hider or other finders anything about your adventure (or lack thereof) in finding the cache. Please keep this in mind when entering your log.
Travelbug Etiquette: Cachers pay good money for TravelBugs and Geocoins. Please if you take a TB or GC from a cache will you ensure it is correctly logged in and out, also If you take one that still shows somewhere else please be patient before “grabbing” the item, it does not get its mileage by being grabbed and the last person to place may not have had time to log a previous find or the one you took it from. This is particularly important on busy and new caches. If you have an issue with a bug please e-mail the owner through their profile and advise them of the issue. They will be pleased to hear from you.
